ABOUT THE ORGANISATION

FORE Australia is a non-partisan, youth-led social enterprise dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative ideas and effective policy implementation. Our mission is to ensure that no solution remains sidelined simply because it goes unnoticed or misunderstood. We collaborate with politicians, advisors, academics, activists, NGOs, and communities to fuel our flagship project, the Solutions Library. This platform offers well-researched, practical policy ideas designed to be easily accessible to both decision-makers and the general public.

In addition to our library, we provide targeted training for NGOs, academics, and others on political and legislative machinery alongside policy communication training. Our aim is to empower these stakeholders to convey their ideas clearly and persuasively, ensuring their voices are heard in policy discussions. By translating complex research and advocacy into actionable policies, we equip stakeholders with the knowledge to make the most of each policy window.
